I Quit ____ and Started Running

 Antonia de Heinrich

Welcome to my podcast “I QUIT ____ and STARTED RUNNING”. As your host Antonia de Heinrich, I look forward to sharing with you the inspiring stories of people who turned to running as a way to overcome a particular challenge in their lives. Join me each week for a conversation about where they started, what it was that made them want to change, how running factored in and where they are today. If you have had obstacles in your life that you have conquered by getting into running, we would love to hear your story. To enter, just email us at [email protected].
